Comparing sweatshops

1. First of all in the US, we have minimum wage and a limit on how many hours you can work in a day or a month. Also in the US, we made a law that prohibits child labor. In China, they do not have any limits on hours and they barley make enough to survive ( 700-800 Yuan per month, which is around $111.29). They make all these great products for us like toys, shoes, and phones and by just selling my phone, I can make as much money as around 5 employees monthly salaries. All of these people make these amazing things in the most cramped, dangerous, and hard to breath areas practically in the world. In China, most of the kids cannot afford to go to school, so that is why they have to work.

2. Workers happiness is one of the most important things that exist in a workplace, and if the people are happy then the productivity rate will go up because they do not mind working for their boss. Shaun Anchor, the author of The Happiness Advantage, proves that the brain works much better when the person is positive. The University of Warwick proved that worker happiness led to a 12% spike in productivity, while unhappy workers drop 10% in productivity. https://www.fastcompany.com/3048751/the-future-of-work/happy-employees-are-12-more-productive-at-work 


3. The company I chose is Disney. This company provides so much for kids and a little for adults. The  theme parks are different than the toy producing branch. I chose this because I have the best memories from earlier in my childhood that I will never forget. http://www.disney.com/

What is a handshake?

Russia

1. When you meet someone in Russia, you give them a normal handshake as you would in America, but it is only for men and be done with the right hand. Shaking with the left hand is a form of disrespect. Women only shake hands in business situations.
2. Departing is mostly the same way, the only things that change is your word choice when leaving. 
3. Accepting a gift is also a form a respect and possibly even more than that. A gift probably means you love for someone.
4. Sharing business cards is kind of like giving a handshake. its a form of trying to do business with people.

Japan;

1. A handshake in Japan usually consists of a limp hand grab and little to no eye contact.  Some Japanese bow instead of doing a handshake to show respect and be accepted by the Japanese.
2. While the Japanese are leaving they don't give a handshake to that person but instead bow again as a show respect and thanks to them.
3. When giving gifts in Japan they accept them but not in all cases. Depending on some cases they may not accept the gift. Also if the person giving them the gift doesn't ask them to open it they more than likely wont open it because they are told not to open it without being asked to.
4. With business cards the Japanese are told not to damage the business cards at all. They don't bend them, tear them, or destroy them in any way. They need to make sure that the card is given in a polite way and that the card isn't damaged.

France 

1. A handshake in France consists of is a cheek kiss on both cheeks. This is the equivalent to a handshake in America. 
2. When you leave someones house or something like that you leave the same way you entered as in giving a cheek kiss. 
3. People in France usually show people thanks by having them over to their house for food. 
4. Giving someone a business card in France is the same way you give someone it here in America. Business cards are only for business, not for sports or anything like that.

3. January 12, 2010

4.This earthquake affected every single local thing there was. It destroyed 80% of all schools which wiped out the country's education.

5. This earthquake completely wiped out the country's economy. Haiti is still trying to rebuild their infrastructure.

Haiti Earthquake

On January 12, 2010 one of the worst natural disasters happened in the worlds history to an island right next to the Dominican Republic called, Haiti. The Richter scale reached 7.0, and caused about 7.8 billion dollars. If you think about it the total amount would roughly be the doubled amount of the NFL team the Dallas Cowboys, which is valued at 4 billion according to Forbes.

1. This earthquake left the economy in shambles. Their country was growing at a rapid rate from costing 11.6 billion dollars in 2008 to 11.9 billion dollars in 2009. Haiti has never really been economically stable, with about 80% of the population below the poverty line. The reason being is they always end up growing a little bit, but eventually a tropical storm always destroys stuff, so they have to spend their money on repairs.

2. As I said in the introduction paragraph, there were 7.8 billion dollars in damages. So for any small businesses were completely wiped out, or had to be rebuilt after the natural disaster.

3. Before this huge earthquake, Haiti was doing well, as I said in number 1, their infrastructure was growing and becoming stronger. Then once January 12, 2010 hit, the infrastructure was completely ruined. They had to start all over again.

4. This immense earthquake caused a ton of resources to become rare and limited. Haiti’s agriculture and industries were destroyed in the earthquake, which cause Haiti's unemployment rate to go up even more. The agriculture business accounted for a lot of their employment and of course food on the families tables. Most of Haiti’s primary exports such as mangoes and coffee are saw a large drop off.

5. The effects of this earthquake are still being felt. Haiti is still rebuilding its country and especially their economy. Even if you weren't in the capital, you still felt it because you weren't getting the materials to survive because everything came from the capital.

6. After January 12, 2010, everybody's life was crushed in one day. People cant really go anywhere because they don't have the money because it all went to rebuilding the country and their houses. This natural disaster, even though it happened 6 years ago, brought long term affects for the nation as a whole.

7.        This picture shows that literally houses were completely destroyed. Everything was in ruins, or just the foundation
  This picture shows were exactly where the natural disaster occurred. Even though it hit a couple cities, it ruined the most important sea port in the country
